Fixing Heat in Tempe Homes and Rentals

Tempe has a mix of decades-old houses, student rentals and newer infill, and the heating systems vary just as much. Furnace repair in Tempe often starts with figuring out what kind of system the house has, then finding which part stopped it on the first cold morning.

Common Faults

  • Flame sensor dirty, so the burners light and drop out.
  • Igniter cracked, so the furnace never lights.
  • Inducer motor or pressure switch faults that stop the start sequence.
  • Clogged filter causing overheating and short cycling, common in rentals between tenants.
  • Old wall furnaces or floor units in some older homes, which need their own safety checks.

For Landlords

If you own a rental near ASU, quick repairs keep tenants comfortable and complaints down. Tell us the access arrangements when you call and we will coordinate with the tenant. Our phone line is open 24 hours.

Safety

If you smell gas, leave and call your gas utility from outside. If a carbon monoxide alarm sounds, get out and call 911. We inspect the burners, flue and heat exchanger area on every repair.

Repair or Replace

Routine parts ride on the truck. On an older furnace with a failed heat exchanger, control board or inducer, we show you the repair price and the replacement price together.

Before You Call

Make sure the thermostat is set to heat, the furnace switch is on and the breaker has not tripped. Replace the filter if it is dirty. In rentals, ask tenants whether anything is stored against the furnace or blocking the return grille. Those small issues cause a surprising number of no-heat calls.

Common Questions

Do you work on rooftop packaged units?

Yes, along with gas furnaces and heat pumps across Tempe.

Do I need a permit for a repair?

No. Repairs to existing equipment do not; replacements do, and we handle that permit through the city.
